speed work yesterday! the good,the bad and the ugly....

yay for finally jumping back in with the HIITs!!!!!!
yesterdays run and work out went great!
the good:
was in the gym over the weekend
got in good workouts
started the speed play again after 2 month hiatus
felt good the entire time
15 wks 5 days out from 1rst show of the yr
16wks 5 days out from 1rst pro show of the year-hoping to qualify for the Yorton cup!!

the bad;
no gym today due to a LONG night with baby M. taking her in to the dr today to see whats going. fussy,coughing,snotty nose,ear pulling,very very very little sleep,yadda yadda yadda....
hoping i can work around my children's seemingly never ending sicknesses so i can get in the shape that i need to. now granted,family is ALWAYS first over the gym,but some days i will have a brief opportunity to sneak in a run or workout-i just have to make point to make the most of those times,even when im tired,:)

the ugly:
i still cant find an NGA show to do before the cutoff date that is within reasonable driving distance.
the ones i found are 5 days past the cut off,AND coincide with the IFPA pro bowl. i need to compete at this event in order to qualify for the Yorton. the other IFPA shows are not within reasonable driving distances fro me.
so,im in a pickle over this!!
eep!

BUT moving on to the good again,let me post the workout had last night before i forget:
3x10 pullups (8 of these unassisted) i actually got 4 by myself the first set.
happy about that but still VERY discouraged,seeing as i used to be able to do 10 or more of these with ease pre pregnancy.
i will get there again soon!
4x15 giant set of:
kneeling lat pull downs
reverse grip pull downs
straight arm lat pulldown
4x15 superste of;

21's 94x21)
